MORE INFORMATION

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 specifies the security requirements of cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive information. Mail Express v4.0 and later allows you the option of using only protocols and algorithms for use by FIPS 140-2, which uses a higher level of ciphers and will rule out the weak ones, like Diffie-Hellman.

FIPS is not supported for the Outlook Add-In via the DMZ Gateway when the Outlook Add-In is installed on Windows XP.
